40 years ago I listened to a Western History professor rant on about private ownership of guns and promote gun control in every one of his classes. One afternoon about 3 days before the class was over, one of the older students stood up and asked him if he could ask a question. He said "go ahead". The student asked him if he owned any guns. That professor stammered a bit and said "Well, it's like this. When everyone else gets rid of their guns, I'll get rid of mine too." The whole class just sighed.
